Denarius (18-20 mm / 3,34 g),
Obv.: AVGVSTVS - [DIVI • F] , bare head of Augustus right.
Rev.: IMP • X (in exergue) , Augustus, bareheaded and togate, seated left on curule chair set on daïs, extending his right hand toward two soldiers, each carrying parazonia and presenting laurel branches in their right hands.
RIC I (2) 165a ; Giard, Lyon 13 ; RSC 133 ; BMCRE 445-6 = BMCRR Gaul 157-8 ; BN 1366-9 .
By 16 BC, Spain was finally pacified and the need for active legions was moving towards the Rhine and Danube frontiers. With the visit to Gaul by Augustus in 16-15 BC, the Imperial Western Mint was transferred from its headquarters in Tarraco to Lugdunum. Lugdunum was a logical new location as it was not too far from Italy. It was close enough to supply the monetary needs for Spain and well protected as a major city to supply the military payments needed for the upcoming war in Germany.
